A backup is essentially making a second copy.

I'm afraid but the name used almost universally for the superset of MA and SA is MA. Thus, whenever somebody says MA, it includes both variants and context explains what exactly was meant. Though,...

The most important one of those is to use a backup (clone or TM) as the source of the data. Since probably almost all external drives have USB, it requires no extra cables (but one likely is...

The previous two posters misunderstood your question. You seem to have a refresh issue, ie, Aperture doesn't refresh the view automatically when doing its raw conversion. I had serious refresh...

The one Apple offers is certainly reliable but limited to SD cards. Do you need one for CF cards?

Restart LR? Restart the computer?

Since you have (or had) both the 20 and 25 mm, any comments on differences you have noticed or if you still have both, which you mostly use or in which situations you use which?

And despite having the Pana 7-14 mm, I'm considering the 12 mm f/2.

Since Aperture and iPhoto share the same library format and the same adjustment tools (just that iPhoto doesn't expose all of them), it makes probably sense for Apple to develop a lot of changes in...

Stupid question, what would be the ideal spectral sensitivity curves of a three 'colour' sensor? Ideal in the sense that would suffer the same metamerisms failures as our eyes. Would an exact match...

Do you have any idea what (for Adobe apps) is the difference between a 'listed' camera that uses DNG files and one that is not 'listed'? Why then have people been complaining for ages that they...

There are two levels of Recovery with Macs. One is the recovery partition which contains a bootable OS from which can for example run a disc repair but you still need internet access because the...

Which is 100% what I said and you called a myth. What is the difference between "if one wants to get to certain focal lengths" and "to cover any set of focal lengths"? Both say that going to a...

A more general description of what you were looking for would be a solution that places text from the metadata of images next to images in an automated way and that can be viewed by a recipient....

Funny that chlamchowder said exactly the opposite if one restricts oneself to new lenses: With new lenses, FX and DX trade blows. For someone like the OP who probably just wants to get to certain...

I am comparing the cheapest way to cover a set of focal lengths on DX vs. FX. That is my original statement in my original posts which you called a myth. You can declare that question irrelevant...

Most 'old' tele lenses do similarly good on DX as on FX (and are by definition cheaper on DX because a shorter focal lengths are generally cheaper). Getting a 14 mm as your first UWA is not the...

If it wasn't obvious, I only considered lenses that can be bought new, that all had AF and where available I only considered the versions of lenses with AF-S and VR/OS. There are enough people who...

To cover any set of focal lengths, you will have to almost universally pay more for a FX set than a DX set. WA zooms: DX: Tokina 12-24 mm f/4: $450 FX: Nikon 18-35 mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S: $750 FX:...

Ok, that of course changes things, to have laptop-internal clones and TM backups you do need additional volumes. But I don't think anybody could have gleaned from your earlier posts, so it was...
